    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Someone has to have a "Days lost by Week One starters due to injury" counter, right? Also, does anyone get cut for anything non-criminal, when people are going down at this rate?

    It was nice of the Chiefs to let the Raiders score once before they demolished them.

    Falcons pass defense is, um, not great atm, imagine if the Packers had NFL-level wide receivers.

    Actually, Burns is right, the Deep checks his own head hasn't exploded at that point, so the head popper is likely someone in the church. Given that Stormfront previously said she was a member long ago, it looks like the Scientology parallels will be literal, as they 'promote' normal people to...

    If you watch that bit again, Shockwave doesn't get popped until after the PR lady starts yelling that the superheroes should do something, though I can't imagine how anyone could come up with the conclusion that this was anything other than a Vought coverup. As far as Butcher, that could be him...

    So two 0-3 teams, now with backup (or worse) QBs? Ratings gold! ... I say before the touchdown.

    Are the Giants going to get demolished by the 49ers second string? Not sure that's more on an indictment on hi ow bad these Giants are or hi ow much of a wasted season this is for the 49ers.

    Utopia

    Having never seen the UK version, I thought it was fine. I'll have a hard time imagining I'll remember much of anything of it in 30 days, but especially when content is limited, it's worth a watch. First impressions aren't great, with the multiracial lead, 'body positive' past protector, and...

    The set dressing heavily implied they were in a jewelry shop, and thus the circular blade was presumably some diamond tipped reinforced tool for gemcutting. When Starlight got hit with the .50, she did bleed slightly, but had no lasting effects. Cindi is clearly Starlight+ level, though the...

    Yeah, American history tends to gloss over that the Nazis intentionally killed off Roma (gypsies), and had no qualms with killing off Poles, etc. when they got in the way. Furthermore, while Homelander polls best with midwestern whites, if he's anything, it's a Supe Supremacist. He may not...

    See, if this season was dumped in a row, when you hit this episode you would be far more forgiving of the lull before it.

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    So MS now owns both the people making Starfield (Beth) and the people who made the budget Starfield in Outer Worlds (Obsidian). Someone at MS really like space RPGs. That said this seems like a terrible decision for MS, how many Doom 2020s will it take to make that back? Because there's no...

    The first trailer showed the "sitcom" they were living in aged in time along with the kids, but this trailer established that whatever is going on is affecting the outside world as well.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Packers run defense wasn't great to start with, and without Kenny Clark this is laughable. NFC North will be a grind until the very end, and the Lions might actually be the favorite (was rooting for the Bears to win last week, still feel dirty). That said, is any NFC team jumping out at anyone...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    I'd be pretty surprised if they give the job to Tom Hardy, he'd be ~46 by the time the first movie of his comes out, which would make him the oldest bond at his start, especially when one of the stated reasons they didn't go with Idris Elba when Craig retired the last time was that Elba was...

    Also, I couldn't tell if the AOC rant about Homelander's war crimes was them mocking the left or being so stupid they repeated the same mistakes - the Geneva conventions (that would decide what a war crime is) only apply to uniformed members of national armies, questionable Bush 2 detention...

    This season is weaker than last, but part of that is the weekly delivery combined with the 'break everyone up into their own storylines' approach. It is possible eveything will tie up nicely, but at this point it's like complaining two thirds into Infinty War about 'This Thor weapon plotline is...

    The stadiums with no fans and no noise make these games seem like the Z-Tier college playoff games ESPN created just to sell ad spots.

    More accurately, Stormfront _acted_ like she was afraid of Homelander once she found out what his fly-into-a-rage limit was. Unfortunately, the "laser my tits" scene we saw in the ads but not yet in the show make it clear the mollification was just evaluation, and not actually fear.

    That was a weirdly premise changing episode for episode four into a season. Frankly, Homelander not browsing through Pepe memes is subtlety for current Hollywood, though the complete lack of consensus on riots vs protests shows both sides had their Meme Hall Putschs long ago. ... though ATrain...

    I would assume they were so far behind schedule that the new CN execs could use an escape clause in the contract. I think we'll get talk about a wrap up DVD movie, but nothing will ultimately ever be made.

    The Venture Bros.

    On one hand, it's had such huge breaks that I stopped missing it long ago, but at the same time, this is one of my probably three favorite shows of all time. Hell, I think I am down to just streaming shows I watch at this point.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Next year's cap will go down, just from loss of stadium ticket sales, but the NFL / NFLPA negotiated that the cap reduction would be spread out over the next ten (iirc) seasons, so it will be completely hidden by the next TV restructure, whenever that is. (Assuming there is still a...

    Yeah, you have to assume Justice (from whatever era she's from) and Stormfront are the same, so 'yellow' could legitimately be the slur from the time. The bigger question is who and why is anti-Vought - Shining Path kidnapped the twins years ago, and for all we know Lamplighter is the one that...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Does everyone forget that in Marvel canon, BP was dead for five years? He wouldn't have been king regardless anymore, and if the BP program was reestablished, there would have been another BP already. It's clear additional suits can be made at will, and Boseman was already BPing with his father...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Nearly all of what I do is unfun chores for a single digit percent chance something interesting (though not necessarily useful) randomly appears. Then again, that may be why I spend maybe 30 mins a day 'playing', mostly on a second screen.

    You guys aren't being nearly cynical / 21st century enough. Give her a youth factor, and she can still essentially be the comic version, the base version of Homelander's DNA (though likely not his literal mother), except now his superior because vagina. Then make her a Nazi and have Butcher...

    People keep forgetting hard drives are expensive, with no way to reduce their cost beyond a fixed minimum. Your $/GB has gone down, but not the bare minimum $/drive.
